Filmmaker Vignesh Shivan and his actor-wife Nayanthara became parents to twin boys in October, four months after their wedding. The couple welcomed their sons, Uyir and Ulagham, via surrogacy. Immediately after embracing parenthood, the couple found themselves surrounded by controversy as questions were raised about them flouting the surrogacy laws. However, it was later found that they have not violated any laws.

Vignesh announced the news of being blessed with twins on social media in October. He posted adorable pictures where he along with his wife Nayanthara was seen kissing the feet of his twins.
